Well, here we are. Older, wiser, and very muchly ready to pick back up again. I’ve been idle for… a few years; distracted by many things and thinking altogether too little about life and the little things.
The funny thing about failing at something like keeping up on a blog, is that as soon as you fail, you don’t want to go back and try to make up for it. It’s almost like admitting to failure when in reality, never working at it again is the true failing. You lose confidence and drive and start to think that it wasn’t such a great idea after all even though you loved it while you kept up with it.
That was my mindset throughout these past few years, but this year I’m going to do my best to change that mindset. If I fail, I’m going to come right back and make up for it. If I post something horribly written, I’ll come right back and write something else horrible. But maybe a little less horrible than the first.
There are two mindsets that I’m equally fond of, but it’s hard to choose which one will get the job done. One is:
“I’m going to do my best and if that’s not good enough, that’s okay, because it was my best.”
The other is:
“If I’m going to fail, I’m going to fail spectacularly.”
Either way, it’s a just do it mindset that pushes past the fear of failure that I hope to maintain the rest of this year.
